Powerhouse surges as it moves closer to building first clean energy site (PHE)

Shares in Powerhouse Energy (LSE:PHE) spiked 6pc to 0.55p on Wednesday after
the clean energy technology business
revealed a crucial
milestone in its plans to build a waste plastic to hydrogen and power facility.

Powerhouse said its development partner
Waste2Tricity has signed an agreement for
a 124 lease on a 54-acre energy hub site in Cheshire called Protos. The in believes
this will be the first full-scale site for its proprietary hydrogen from waste
technology and a critical step in its commercialisation strategy.

Powerhouse’s technology converts waste
products like plastic, tyres and other waste streams into syngas efficiently
and economically. This is then used to
create valuable products like chemical precursors, hydrogen, electricity. According
to the business, its process can generate more than 1t of road-fuel quality
hydrogen or more than 28MW/h of exportable power
a day and can be used at both enterprise
and community level.

Powerhouse and Waste2Tricity will now
conclude arrangements for the sale and licence of this technology at the site. Waste2Tricity
will also secure the power purchase agreement, and
plastic feedstock supply needed to finalise its funding.

Protos is being
developed by Peel Environmental, a subsidiary of leading British
infrastructure, transport, and real estate organisation Peel Group. The £700m
energy hub is designed to bring together complementary business in the
environmental sector across the whole supply chain.

Powerhouse’s chief executive David Ryan said: ‘We believe the Protos site to be an ideal location to showcase our DMG® technology in action on a fully commercial basis and demonstrate the considerable value this technology delivers, paving the way for other contracts in the pipeline to come to fruition.’

Meanwhile, Myles Kitcher, a managing
director at Peel, added that the firm will
look to roll Powerhouse’s technology out
across its other UK sites following the deal:

‘This project sums up the vision for Protos – a closed loop solution where innovative technologies are used to create value from waste and provide low carbon energy sources. Not only will this help tackle the problem of waste plastics, it will provide a local source of hydrogen which could be used as a clean and low cost fuel for buses and HGVs across the region.’

The S&P500 has reached new highs again. It’s likely to run on to tackle the 3000 milestone level shortly, where the chart suggests strong headwinds lie. But during the past decade bull run, (assuming we’re still in one) investors have seen this scenario play out positively before - where a big move upward followed with gusto, despite seeming unlikely. Will the third time be so lucky?
